" New Year's Eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights."

- Hamilton Wright Mabel-

Wishing you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons and

a most pleasant year to come.

Mark the boundaries you're not meant to leave
I'll stay "far away"
But to keep my place
I want to write our names on a culm bank's face."

/////////////////////////////////////////

I met an absolutely lovely woman the other day in one of my favorite showrooms here in Seattle. Her name is Paige. Long story short, we needed to exchange emails so that she could pass along some photos and pricing for a table for a client of mine. When I handed her my card, she gasped and said...wait! "this is you?!" I humbly replied, yes. "I've been following your blog for 3 years and I just love it, I even missed it when you took a break from posting this summer" (at this point I was on the verge of tears, and my cheeks were as red as an apple). This kind of stuff makes all the effort I put into what I do worth it. I am still just a kid, widdling away in my apartment, learning everyday and building this thing called BP. INTERIORS into, well who knows what it will be some day. I am a very lucky person to be able to do what I love for a living and have some of the most gracious and exciting clients and projects. Like-minded, challenging people are few and far between, keep them tight and your brain will never be starved. Paige, this post is for you, for making me feel so special and for the red cheeks, it made my day, if not my month. I wish you all the best- BP

PALM. SPRINGS. ONE.

snippets from this past weeks trip to my clients home in Palm Springs. Like every project I work on, this home, built in 60's and of very clean mid-century lines will be filled with furniture, lighting etc from all walks design history to create a real textural, comfortable, story filled home. So blessed and excited to be working on this home and look forward to sharing more with all of you.
